Title: Screening apparatus and method
Inventor: MATTHEW DANIEL BROOKES
IPC: G01V5/00
Filed: 2019-07-10
Abstract: A screening apparatus 10 comprising means for screening 11 e.g. X-ray scanner, and a computer 14 having software 15. A threat quantity value is provided based on threat information 16, such as passenger profiles, vehicle structural information e.g. strength of the airframe, location of cargo within the vehicle, travel route. The threat quantity value may for example represent a mass of explosive sufficient to cause catastrophic damage to an aircraft.

Title: Inspection device for inspecting a building or structure
Inventor: KRISTIAN KLAUSEN
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2020-07-10
Abstract: Processing device-captured data during building or structure inspection comprises receiving inspection data sets captured by the device sensor(s), each set captured from different structure regions, each set being captured at a respective time during device manoeuvres. 3D data groups of the device’s surroundings are received (e.g. using LiDAR), each group captured at a point in time, each group indicating a distance from surface(s) at capture time. The groups are combined to obtain a 3D map of the device’s surroundings, and data is outputted indicating, for each data set, a device’s position (505) in the map (503) at which the set was captured. The device position relative shift may be established between capturing two groups by comparison using a scan matching algorithm (e.g. a Normal Distribution Transform, NDT). The device’s position may be established using Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). Processing 3D data sets is also claimed where scan matching (e.g. NDT) determines a relative device position shift, wherein for each set, a point cloud is generated, and the 3D field of view is subdivided into cells. Point cloud points in each cell are identified, the cell volume set so the number of points per cell is above a threshold.
